Yesterday

Snow we got last week, gone by noon the next day. There was something about the street that night…and for a few seconds, it felt as if I stopped the car, opened the door, and stepped out, I could travel to another world, a past world. Time had stopped…and I didn’t want to take that next breath, cause you know when you do...the spell is broken.

“The past is a foreign country;

Friday Night Music - The Civil Wars

I LOVE everything about this couple - their voices, their looks, the chemistry between them. They sound and look like poetry in motion. I'll marry this guy in my next life. I'm sure of it! LOL Heck, I may even be her in my next life. :)

Enjoy

“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.”

― William Goldman, The Princess Bride

 

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”

― Lois Lowry, The Giver

 

“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”

― Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral's Kiss

“It’s the same with people who say, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn’t kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying.”

― Rob Sheffield

“Adventures are all very well in their place, but there's a lot to be said for regular meals and freedom from pain.”

― Neil Gaiman, Stardust

“There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.”

― Fernando Pessoa

“The marks humans leave are too often scars.”

― John Green

What If ?

“Here you sit on your high-backed chair

Wonder how the view is from there

I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit

Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor

If you like we could play a game

Let's pretend that we are the same

But you will have to look much closer

Than you do, closer than you do

And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore

And I don't care what you think anyway

'Cause I think you were wrong about me

Yeah what if you were, what if you were

And what if I'm a snowstorm burning

What if I'm a world unturning

What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep

What if I'm the kindest demon

Something you may not believe in

What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

I know you've got it figured out

Tell me what I am all about

And I just might learn a thing or two

Hundred about you, maybe about you

I'm the end of your telescope

I don't change just to suit your vision

'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope

Around my hands, tied around my hands

And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free

And put your hands over both your ears

Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not

The perfect girl you thought

Well what have I got to lose

And what if I'm a weeping willow

Laughing tears upon my pillow

What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone

What if I'm a toothless leopard

What if I'm a sheepless shepherd

What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home

You don't know me

Never will, never will

I'm outside your picture frame

And the glass is breaking now

You can't see me

Never will, never will

If you're never gonna see

What if I'm a crowded desert

Too much pain with little pleasure

What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go

What if I don't know who I am

Will that keep us both from trying

To find out and when you have

Be sure to let me know

What if I'm a snowstorm burning

What if I'm a world unturning

What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep

What if I'm the kindest demon

Something you may not believe in

What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

Sleep...

Sleep...”

― Emilie Autumn

 

WHAT IF

YOU WOKE UP TODAY AND

A Little Of This & A Little Of That

My little Portia, thinking potty time is over and ready to come inside. She loves going outside in the snow but hates going out when it is just cold??? If there is no snow out, she runs under the couch when she thinks it is potty time.
